Axls Rocket Queen Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) Went to see Sweeney Todd on Friday.Brilliant- so much fun, the acting and songs were ace...although Alan Rickman's singing is god-awful Nice unexpected cameo from Sacha Baron Cohen, I didn't know he was going to be in it- his voice cracked me up I want to see it again now.

Lithium Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Just saw the remake of 3:10 to Yuma.Good film - Ben Foster did a brilliant part and I loved the scene with Luke Wilson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyMonk Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Has anyone seen any ads for Sweeney Todd that actually shows that it's a "musical"? I mean I know it's originally a light opera and all of that crap...but it's almost like they purposely aren't telling people it's a musical because so many less people would see it . I find that hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calm Like A Bomb Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I watched Sweeney Todd yesterday and thought it was brilliant, afterwards i went to see AVP Requiem knowing full well it was going to be bad i didn't have any hopes but after seeing it i've decided it's the worst film i've ever seen at the cinema. To call it shocking, rubbish, abysmal and pathetic would be too good to the film, i just cannot find words to describe it. Why these shitty directors cannot leave the Alien and Predator franchise alone is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I waited for two days for the bastard to finish downloading, thinking it would be some kickass movie about The Beatles and 60s culture in general, only to find out that it was a fucking musical about the 60s!

I find that hilarious.Not 'almost like', it's very calculated. They're trying to sell it directly to the horror nerds. When I saw it, there were some folks around us who were clearly taken aback. There have been several successful musicals over the last seven years or so, IMO, not marketing it straightforwardly was silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownRock Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Watched Wedding Crashers for the first time last night. First half an hour is pretty boring but after that it picks up, overall a pretty good film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becket Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I just picked up, and watched You, Me And Dupree. That was fuckin funny. I usually dont buy comedies to much, but found that one on sale really cheap. I really enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lithium Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) I saw the trailer when I went to see The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, and all I can remember seeing that could have had something to do with a musical was the guy on the beginning singing "Girl", and I just got the impression that he was in a band or something. I probably remember incorrectly, though. Edited January 28, 2008 by Lithium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxic Tears Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Just saw Nine Queens, anyone watched it? The argentinian movie, that came out in 2002, I think. The twist at the end is so shocking, and the movie flows really well. Strongly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lithium Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I'm watching the 2003 remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.Seems good enough to keep me entertained for 90 minutes, but not nearly as good as the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spuffy78 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) Original is a classic.Don't get the 2nd one it's dreadful.Ever since they finished with the first Texas Chainsaw masscare they've goten worse and worse.I'd recommned The Nightmare On Elm Street or The Halloween(expect #3) series if you want good Horror flicks.

Ridin' the Nightrain Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 After my friend finishes her work (slowest writer ever) I'm gonna make her watch Stardust with me. I love that film so much. I totally went to see it out of boredom with very few expectations and it turned out to be one of the most fun movies I've seen in quite a while. De Niro really gained so much respect from me. Respect seems like the wrong word since he's obviously the greatest actor of all-time and I already respected him a ridiculous amount, but it was refreshing for such a legend to not be a pompus prick and play a role like that. He did wonders with it. It was quite surreal seeing him do that stuff but it made the movie for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spuffy78 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I know I just think it's just one of those things where actors seem like sell outs.It's just personally that I'd rather see Deniro do another role like his classics as opposed to a fantasy role. It was just like when Travolta when from being Vincent Vega to be Chris Walken's wife.He's still a great actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just like when Travolta when from being Vincent Vega to be Chris Walken's wife.That was pretty much the most challenging role he's ever taken. I don't see how that can be construed as a sell out. The majority of what he's done since Pulp Fiction, sure. But not Hairspray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffrankwhite Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) anyone ever see De Niro in Hi Mom? great fuckin movie back when De Palma knew where his nuts were at along with having a not too shabby idea on Hitchcocks too and Axl98, selling out for an actor could more reasonably cited as sticking to a bankable stereotype cuz you know it sells not testing yourself as an artist.
